Also recall how Mayuri... uh.... "reconstructs" people after totally dismantling them and such. Specifically he threatens to take apart and rebuild Nemu as punishment;

fyi, Nemu is literally an artificial being that Mayuri created.

Hollow Ichigo was best Ichigo because imo, was the only thing that made Ichigo as a character interesting. Otherwise, he's just a naive, whiny kid who has a gift he can't even wield properly because the fucker still can't fight even after all this time. He's the type of dude who whines on GameFAQS about people who don't play pvp games with "honor" because they have a code of ethics they expect everyone else to follow.

Also fellbring was stupid and a waste of an arc, and if Kubo was gonna have Ichigo lose his powers, he should've ended the manga right there or handed lead to someone else with Ichigo working as a mentor (even though he'd make a shitty mentor to anyone who's not Karin as far as characters we already know).

Children's card games, though.

Eh, I disagree about the Fullbringer arc being dumb. Yeah, it had its blah moments, but Kubo can't always crap out winning characters. The general concept of Fullbringers also helped bring a bit of clarity to Chad and Orihime's abilities since they're neither Quincy nor Shinigami. Ultimately, I think it wound up getting rushed. I'll also disagree on Ichigo's sense of honor being a bad trait. Yeah, the Ulquiorra moment was a bit of a wtf, but he literally explained why. He wanted the fight to be fair even if his enemies might try to make fights not fair. I think it's a bit of a lost art in today's world, especially when you can get away with being dishonest with no consequences. Just look in the MMO context of PvP and ganking. See someone at half HP from another fight? Kill 'em. Why? "They'd do it to me if they could!" No, not everyone's an ass.

And the nazi guy in hueco mundo was destroying / absorbing everyone because "everything is spirit particles in here".

Are you saying it's impossible for them to have organs that are built up of Spirit Particles? I mean, if it eases your irritation, look at Spirit Particles as Spirit Atoms, and assume that everything in Hueco Mundo/Soul Society is made up of Spirit Atoms, and in the real world they're made out of atoms.

And just like that, suddenly it's possible for them to have organs and blood that are absorbed by spirit-based attacks.

i love the Ikkaku fight if only because he gets mad at ichigo for stealing his wound putty

Edit: just read the whole thing, pretty much how kubo can actually write i know a lot of people say he can't write to save his life, but the man isn't as thick as people like to play him

[Cleverness]

Hollow Ichigo was best Ichigo

Sure dude, whatever you say.

I enjoyed this analysis, thanks.

He still can't fight. >BO

well, reading that link just made me reread the whole Aizen fight again.
God mother fucking damn it I miss Gin.

Gin was one of the best parts of the series.

It's a shame he's gone.

You're a creepy kid O.o

[arus2001]

We can't even be 100% sure he's gone. He's a snakey fker like that.

i shiver at the thought of him been like orochimaru and "shedding his skin"

[AoE]

I couldn't think of any reason for them to bring Gin back. I liked him since he was first introduced though. Like the ominous, sarcastic archtype and the VA conveyed it well.

[CrimsonAngel]

Don't know if this has any relevance, but Ginjou's face lines I had assumed were from his hollow. Probably wrong, but the hollow could possibly become an integrated part of those with fullbringer abilities?

Well, FB abilities were rooted in the taint of a Hollow attacking their parents, but I don't think it's concentrated enough to be Vizard level of influence. Ginjou was unique compared to the others, though, in that he was a substitute, so he could've possibly had his own little bouts of inner turmoil.

since i have no idea when Cyclone posted these, wouldn't the scuff looking marks be blood?

I think his post is drawing more to the idea that there isn't much blood on the side-face close-ups but after the weird flare of black energy it is thick and oddly stripe-like, similar to his hollow's stripes. So It could just be art inconsistency, or Kubo purposefully drew it to foreshadow the resurfacing of Ichigo's hollow.
